It would be great if we can offer this option, this would help in 
reducing the download time for anyone just needing a Window ISO. If this 
is possible on the LibreOffice-box then we should offer it. Just to 
remind people (reading this) that Windows users are the overall majority 
users of LibreOffice. Linux users are more difficult to gauge as they 
get their versions from their distro packagers.

Yup, they have been ready for quite a while, but we had and still have a 
lot more to do still to get the website, wiki, ISO's etc. completed. 
It's nice that Drew and yourself have found the time for this. Thanks.
